In a surprising turn of events, pop icon Taylor Swift has been subpoenaed as a witness in the ongoing legal dispute involving actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. The case revolves around alleged behind-the-scenes conflicts related to their film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, “It Ends With Us.” The news has sparked significant interest across media platforms, especially given Swift’s status as one of the most recognizable figures in the entertainment industry.
Amid speculation surrounding Swift and her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelsey, who recently canceled his appearance at the Kentucky Derby, sources have confirmed that the couple is simply enjoying private time together away from the public eye. Kelsey was spotted in New York City, seemingly visiting Swift’s residence in Tribeca, where a flurry of activity was reported, including the arrival of Kelsey’s mother, Donna.
Despite the media frenzy, a spokesperson for Swift has clarified her limited involvement with the film. The spokesperson emphasized that Swift’s only connection to “It Ends With Us” is the licensing of her song “My Tears Ricochet” for the soundtrack. The representative further stated that Swift had no hand in the film’s production, casting, or creative decisions. “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie,” the spokesperson told People, noting that she did not watch the film until weeks after its official release, during which time she was busy touring globally.
The spokesperson also criticized the subpoena as a tactic designed to generate tabloid interest rather than focus on the case’s substantive issues. “This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait,” they said.
In addition to Swift, it has been reported that actor Hugh Jackman may also face a subpoena. A source indicated that anyone with knowledge of the situation, regardless of their celebrity status, could be called to testify. However, other insiders have downplayed these claims, asserting that both Swift and Jackman are not privy to the case’s details, labeling the subpoena rumors as “smoke and mirrors” intended to distract from the allegations against Baldoni.
As legal proceedings unfold, the involvement of high-profile figures like Swift and Jackman continues to capture attention, leaving fans and industry watchers eager for further developments in this complex legal saga.
